showing that the challenged Immigrant is
an idiot, insane, a conyic& or pauper, one
unable to take care Of himself. But an
assisted immigrant, orc whom his Govern
ment has taken from the poor-house and
sent abroad at its expense, is, according to
the Commissioners, unable to take care of
himself, for the sery fact that he is as
sisted is prof that he was a public
charge at honee. If the rigor Of the law
VIII not adssit of the Commissioners so

ously it is impossible for the Commission
to go afiirrnatively into proofs against total
strangers and at the rate OF some thou
sands PEE day, to prove then, outside Of
the shipping certificate to be public
charges.
The whole question Of Interpretation of
the law hinges upon the construction of
the word "pauper." A pauper is one
| who has become, or if proceeded against
would become pubic charge, because of
inability to take care of himself. What,
now, is evidence of gauperism? Laymen
Ewill agree that if English almshouse
swardens, Grecian poor-farn guardians or
Italian hospital supervisors ship inmates
of such places to America at public cost,
the case is prima facie made out. Such
people are certainly paupers within the
intelligent meaning of the law Judge
Brown, however, holds that such proof is
insufficient 1t now remains for Congress
to make it sufficient by express declaration
and American people who tire of this
heritage of freedom being made dump
ing ground for the scourings of Europe,
must see to it that the law is so amended.

THEIR MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE.

Chas. Clinedinst and Geo. M. Bodell who
| conducted the carriage business on Greenville
Avenue left Staunton on the 18th instant. say
Ing they were going to different parts of the
county on collecting tour; but it is thought
both took the east bound passenger train on
the G. & o. railway. one at Waynesboro' and
the other at Alton, since which time nothing
II known of them. They are both married
men and left their wives. and families. 1t Is
represented, in ignorance of their movements.
1t Is supposed that they have for long while
been paying very high rates for money, and
raising it upon negotiable paper said TO repre-
sent sales of carriages, buggies. &C.; generally
taking up the paper after maturity with SINH
lar obligations. The talk on the streets indi-
Gates the belief that there has been crooked
| ness in the way the obligations negotiated
were executed.
In a day or SO after the parties left Staunton,
creditors began to look after their interests
On the 10th instant, an assignment given by
them to Geo. F. Flick, of this city for $1,000
dated January 3lst, 1887. was recorded. This
assignment conveyed carriages, buggies, &C., at
their factory and warehouse. A number OF
other parties are referred to when their disap-
pearauce and business are spoken of as having
obligations assigned to them as representing
the proceeds Of sales. s. A. Wilson sued out
an attachment at the Clerks Office for $685.
number Of parties obtained attachments
before Squire E. l. Jones. but all these appear
to be for Indebtedness for rent and expenses OF
their families and not connected with negotl-
able paper.
Leaving as they did, gives rise to many in
furious conclusions, and if nothing criminal
on their part has taken place. NO mistaken
theory Of the course to pursue in meeting sim.
pie business adversely will atone for it. or
repair the injury done and relieve the sorrow
which their families and friends have to bear
From the talk on the Streets the inference
is, that number Of persons have lost money
by them to a considerable amount.

a distance as if the ground was prepared for
corn or oats. There will be a very large acreage
OF corn planted in this section this year: in
fact the largest, for many years, and we trust
that the season may be good one, and the crops
abundant. From the boom of the shot guns
around here killing the robins we infer that
meat is very scarce with some fthe people.

| A DANGEROUS CROSSING TO BE IMPROVED
The county road which crosses the G. & O.
Railway near Major A. Koiner's residence is
at heavy upgrade on both sides. 1t is con-
sidered dangerous by the people who have tc
use it, as well as by the Engineer of the com.
pany. Meade F. White. Esq, opened commu
nication with General Wickham, Vice Presi-
| dent and manager of the line, in relation to it
General Wickham proposes as follows to Mr.
White, after stating that the change will be
quite expensive: "If you get an order of the
Court or Board of Supervisors authorizing the
Chesapeake and Ohio Railway to make the
| change and thus get the under-grade crossing
in substitution for the present road over the
railroad, and indicating that clearance of L
feet. both lateral and vertical, will be regarded
and accepted as sufficient, it will be put IL
condition satisfactory TO u.s."
This, it. is supposed, will be satisfactory te
the county authorities. and the Improvement
will be made and apprehension of danger here
after dismissed,

Corporation Expenditures.
(For the SPECTATOR


As a citizen and taxpayer of Staunten,
l was glad to see in the last issue of the
SPECTATOR a Communication expressing
the alarm which is felt in regard to the ex-
travagrant expenditures contemplated by
our getty Council" The writer is, how
ever, mistaken in regard to the amount of
the existing debt of the corporation, put
ting it far below the true sum. Only a
small part of the sinking fund as yet pre-
vided should be deducted from the aggre-
gate Of Indebtedness, which am advised is
about 1904, 900. This sum is not far short
of the limitation prescribed by law, and if
further debts shall be contracted and bonds
issued therefor, the validity Of such bonds
may be questioned. Property holders will
certainly seek protection against bonds
Illegally issued.
i 1t is rumored that the Council proposes
to erect market-house at cost of some
50, 600, and to make other Improvement"
OF unknown costs. In regard to the former,
believe the hOnseksepers of the town are
satisfied with the present arrangenent.-
We have scattered about some thirty or
more shops which are great convenience
to the various neighborhoeds in which they
are located. Compel all these dealers to
congregate in one place provided by the
town, and not only must most people go
further for their supplies, bat score or
tive of stors-roems will be left tenantless.
1t surely will not promote the prosperity of
the town to close these places, to say moth
ing of the debt incurred in building the
market-house. speak as citizen of the
town, having no interest in any Of the shops
or store-reems referred to, as owner or 9TH
erwise.
Then I see that some members of the
Council want map of the town, to cost
$1,000, and plans and specifications about
this, that and the other. These things are
costly. Somebody may be making money
cut of them, but the taxpayers must foot
the bill. ANOTHER TAXPAYER.
